Avoid Modernization Pitfalls

The most successful modernization projects achieve their goals on time and on budget by adhering to proven methodologies and by collaborating with experienced system integrators. The system integrators' track record and expertise are essential to handle the risks and have known mitigation strategies in place for the most common issues.

These system integrators will look for such issues as:

Communication breakdown between different organizational initiatives

New applications are added without any regard for whether they can communicate with the existing applications, e.g. New Java applications deployed on Web, yet disconnected from transactional hosts

Big bang, rip-and-replace attitude

Whole replacement of legacy applications without any proper application evaluation

Zeal to replace legacy applications because they can’t integrate with new applications

Lack of objective analysis for modernization approach

Tendency to use one size fits all solution

Failure to analyze each application on its own merit and apply the most applicable technique
